sudo make install does not load the module #30

after executing the command sudo make install, the kernel module isn't loaded. I manually loaded it with sudo modprobe -v 8723du and it gets automatically loaded after reboot. Another issue is git clone git://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723du.git -b v5.13.4 times out from my home IP. Here're the commands I used: https://gist.github.com/hilliao/ce62ae6870d0f8511fa73803a4d841eb

'sudo make install' is not supposed to load the module. If you already had an older version loaded, it would give an error and would confuse the user.

If git clone git://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723du.git -b v5.13.4 times out, use https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723du.git -b v5.13.4 Github completely changed their authentication, and I never have any idea what will work.

would it be better to update the README.md with git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723du.git -b v5.13.4 ? I tested it and it succeeded.
